“Format Painter” copies the format of a cell or several cells and pastes the format with your next click. Here are the steps (the numbers are corresponding to the image above):
Press Esc or the Format Painter again when you are done copying the format (in case you’ve double clicked on the Format Painter).
If you select a whole column or row, you can also copy their width or height.
One last recommendation: Put the Format Painter as a shortcut into the quick access toolbar. For example, if it’s in the fourth position in the quick access toolbar, you can easily access it by pressing “Alt + 4”. Furthermore, doing this the same way in PowerPoint, Word or even Outlook is very handy, as it is always the same keyboard shortcut for you.
